Consider the schematic diagram of a vibratory
system shown in Figure 7.1. Forcing excitations
f(t) to the mechanical system S cause the vibration
responses y. Our objective is to suppress y to a level
that is acceptable. Clearly, there are three general
ways of doing this:
1. Isolation. Suppress the excitations of
vibration. This method deals with f.
